Tools Every Business Should Have

All businesses, regardless of the industry, should have a number of tools and equipment readily available for minor repairs or maintenance. While you can opt for calling a team of technicians or professionals to help sort out any minor problem, some things can be handled without outside intervention. As such, it is helpful to have basic tools for completing various small repairs. From power tools to hand-operated devices, this blog will give you a brief overview of some of the essentials you should have handy in your toolbox. Some of these essentials include cordless drills, industrial grinders, saws, and more.

Cordless Drills

A drill is typically used to make holes or turn fasteners like bolts and screws. They come equipped with interchangeable drill bits that come in varying sizes and design types to turn different fasteners. Cordless drills consist of a rechargeable battery located below the handle which makes them portable. Beyond cordless drills, there are also corded, air-powered, and gas-powered drills. 

Industrial Grinders

Grinders use a spinning or rotating blade to reduce the size of various materials. Grinding materials down can improve a material’s texture and quality. One such type of grinder is called an angle grinder and consists of rotating blade heads set at a right angle to the tool body. They can be used for grinding metal and welds, preparing concrete surfaces, cutting pipe or metal, and much more. Moreover, they are available in corded and cordless types. 

Saws (Circular and Reciprocating)

Saws are often used to cut through materials like wood or metal, and they consist of a blade, wire, or chain with a hard toothed edge. There are two types that will be covered in this category: circular and reciprocating. A circular saw utilizes a rotating blade to cut through a variety of materials, available in both a corded and cordless type. Corded circular saws offer more power, while cordless circular saws are portable and can be used for general-purpose applications or metal-cutting specifically. Reciprocating saws use a quick back-and-forth motion to make aggressive cuts with a blade. They are ideal in operations that do not require precision and finished edges. 

Rotary Tools

Rotary tools are hand-held, multi-functional tools that have various attachments for specific uses. Their compact size makes them ideal for repairing, restoring, and crafting due to their ability to get into tight spaces. They can be used for cutting, engraving, routing, grinding, polishing, and so much more. Moreover, they are available in corded and cordless types with a variety of bit and attachment options. 

Impact Driver

Impact drivers are similar to drills in the fact that they can tighten or loosen fasteners as well as utilize impact to create holes. Their name comes from their ability to use an impact mechanism that increases torque when faced with resistance. Additionally, impact drivers can work in the place of a drill, and they are often lighter and smaller. You can choose an impact driver’s maximum torque, RPMs, and grip to better suit your needs. 

Impact Wrench 

Impact wrenches are industrial wrenches that utilize impact mechanisms to increase torque when resistance is encountered. They drive and remove fasteners like bolts and screws in a number of industrial applications. Impact wrenches can be corded, cordless, and hydraulic types. Additionally, they deliver power in bursts in order to minimize stress on the operator handling the tool. When considering what kind of impact wrench you want to purchase, you should consider the drive size as well as the fastening and breakaway torque.
